Our menu remains fresh, changing every 4 months, in-keeping with the seasons, reflecting traditionally available produce from the sea and land at that time.

Additionally, many of our customers eat from our specials board, which changes daily depending on what fruits the sea provides, offering yet more variety to our recognised favourites. Vegetarians are also catered for on our specials board and starters can also be increased in size to provide alternative vegetarian main courses.

Our seafood is delivered daily from Gourdon and Aberdeen fish markets with our meat prepared and delivered daily from Charles McHardy Butchers in Stonehaven.

So, whatever your tastes are, come along and enjoy a well balanced meal in relaxed surroundings situated amongst spectacular scenery. We don't think you will find a better eating experience in the area.
